Get the Drenalin, personally I'm not into short bows....ie the DXT, less forgiving I don't see a reason to own a shorter bow, get in the way? I've never had a longer bow get in the way of something, they even make a longer version of the Drenalin.....not sure the name, if anything I'd buy longer, I've got the Drenalin, love it. It'll take care of me for another 10 years if not forever.
